Podcast appearances and mentions of Alan Joyce

Since the departure of Alan Joyce in late 2023, new Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson has largely eschewed her predecessor's bombastic camera-friendly style, instead keeping her head down and focused on rebuilding Australia's trust in the Flying Kangaroo. Passenger experience has become the watchword, with the recent announcement of another solid half-yearly profit being accompanied by the promise of a cabin refit for 42 aging 737-800s as the airline awaits more of its new-generation Airbus fleet – but is Hudson's approach bearing fruit? Adam and Jake discuss the delicate balancing act and whether Qantas is beginning to climb out of the trust deficit the old management left behind. Plus, Qatar Airways' bid for a stake in Virgin gets the all-important green light from the government, and how can the aviation sector address the lingering gender pay gap?

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade. Today's interview features Australia's most talked about business writer, Joe Aston, whose book on Qantas has dominated the political cycle for the last ten days.Also today, in the Unmade Index, Seven and Nine held their AGMs, taking different approaches to acknowledging their failings.If you've been thinking about upgrading to an Unmade membership, this is the perfect time.

The Chairman's Lounge isn't just a space with an a la carte menu and top shelf wine; being invited to become a member means a range of travel perks. No matter what type of ticket they buy, a Chairman's Lounge member will likely be upgraded when they fly.At the very least, they'll be sitting in the front row of economy. Ever noticed those smartly dressed people enjoying the extra leg-room of row 4, being greeted by name by the cabin crew and handed a glass of something nice from the business trolley? Chances are they're CL members.And for influential politicians travelling internationally, CL status means buying an economy class ticket and sitting in a first class seat.The Chairman's Lounge has been an incredibly effective lobbying tool, allowing Qantas more access to politicians than any other business in Australia. Says Aston: ”What the Chairman's Lounge does is make Qantas the most powerful lobbyist in Canberra.”And that's without taking into account the bosses who bend their company travel policies towards Qantas, even if other alternatives are cheaper. As Aston puts it: “It's worth every cent. The operating costs aren't that high compared to what it gets people to do, and that is spend millions and millions more than they otherwise would”.Aston's book covers the period where underinvestment in operations began to catch up with the Qantas brand. He is critical of the board for failing to hold former CEO Alan Joyce to account as the brand deteriorated. That includes Australia's most famous adman Todd Sampson. “I do think it is ridiculous that he's still on the Qantas board - he proved to be completely useless when it mattered.Not, by the way, more useless than than anyone else, and not less useless: just as useless.Theres a risk of burying the lede in this interview. His Rear Window column in the Australian Financial Review was often an agenda setter. So what will he do next?Aston hints that he may launch a newsletter of his own: “Doing my own reader-funded content is something I've thought about.”He acknowledges that his style of writing on the edge puts him in danger of attracting threatening letters from defamation lawyers. “It's all a risk calculation,” he says. “It's how much revenue you can generate and is it enough to just pay for whatever litigation costs come your way. “Index bottoms out as TV networks share a gloomy outlookThe Unmade Index recovered marginally on Thursday after hitting another all-time low the day before.Yesterday saw The Unmade Index lift by 0.15% to land on 424.2 points. The Index, which tracks the value of Australia's ASX-listed media and marketing sector, began at the start of 2022 on a nominal 1000 points.Both Nine and Seven West Media held their annual general meetings yesterday.Nine's chair Catherine West used a significant her address to shareholders to acknowledge that the company still needs to do more to address its problematic culture within its newsrooms.SWM's chair Kerry Stokes dedicated one paragraph of his address to tell his shareholders that his company has now modernised its culture, and four paragraphs to complaining about the ABC's coverage of the problem.Nine told the market that after an Olympics boost, TV revenues have returned to the 10% rate of decline seen in the previous financial year. It warned “we are seeing no tangible signs of improvement to date”.Seven said its revenues are likely to be down about 6.5% for the half.Nine's market cap grew slightly yesterday, up by 0.9% to $1.75bn. Seven West Media lost 3%, to land on $239mMeanwhile, Ooh Media recovered by 2.1% and Southern Cross Austereo was up by nearly 1%.

It's the book that's sent shockwaves through the aviation world: The Chairman's Lounge: The Inside Story of How Qantas Sold Us Out, a deep dive into the Alan Joyce era and how Qantas went from one of the most trusted brands in the country to one of the least. Covering the decisions made during COVID-19 – including the illegal outsourcing of ground handlers and the controversial “flight credits” scheme – as well as the perception of undue influence on politics, failures in customer service, and other topics, author Joe Aston lays out the case against Joyce in a book that has put a national spotlight on aviation. In this Australian Aviation podcast, Jake Nelson speaks to Aston about the revelations in his book, his verdict on Joyce as a whole, and whether he believes new CEO Vanessa Hudson can right the ship.

Alan Joyce may be gone, but his ghost continues to haunt the halls of Qantas HQ at Mascot, with new chairman John Mullen saying at last week's AGM that the Flying Kangaroo “might well have not survived” COVID-19 without the colourful former CEO and ex-chairman Richard Goyder. His remarks came, however, as a new book from former columnist for The Australian Financial Review, Joe Aston, gave Joyce a good kicking, calling him “increasingly autocratic” and arguing that Qantas “sold [Australia] out”. At the same time, the notorious “Chairman's Lounge” is in the spotlight again amid fresh controversy over the Prime Minister's perceived cosy relationship with the airline. On this week's episode, Adam and Jake discuss what happened at the AGM and whether politicians should think twice about accepting the invitation to the Chairman's Lounge.

To Australia now .. where prime minister Anthony Albanese is embroiled in a controversy over accepting upgrades and free flights from Qantas and being too cosy with the airlines former chief executive Alan Joyce.

Australia's Prime Minister is facing increasing scrutiny for allegedly asking the boss of Qantas for personal flight upgrades. Anthony Albanese is accused of asking for upgrades on 30 flights, dating all the way back to a flight from Christchurch to Sydney in 1999. Albanese claims he's doing everything by the book. But Australia correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking he's failed to answer questions about his contact with former Qantas boss Alan Joyce. He says the ones that are causing him trouble are private flights on holidays that are nothing to do with Government business. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Federal Opposition is intensifying its attacks on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, over his relationship with former Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce.

Fresh off the back of new Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer accepting free suits and glasses (is it just me or is accepting free glasses even weirder than accepting free suits?), the Deputy Leader of the British Labour Party accepted a free apartment in New York. I can understand that a little bit more readily. You're in New York, a donor says, "I've got a place, stay there", you needed a place to stay anyway, so it kind of makes sense. Whereas most people who need reading glasses buy them for themselves. Clothing is tricky, to the extent a spouse gets added to the mix and you are expected to look a certain way. It is expected you can't turn up looking the same every time, so you need more clothes than normal people. But where is the line between an allowance and simply taking the mickey? MPs aren't paid all that much here, or in Britain, or Australia, which is where their Prime Minister now finds himself in his own hole after the revelations he organised a bunch of free upgrades on Qantas by allegedly going directly to then-CEO Alan Joyce. This was for personal travel for himself and his family. As Prime Minister you travel first class, if not on the Airforce jet, but your son travels like anyone else. Or they do unless Dad has been on the phone to the CEO. How these people think this is normal I have no idea. How they think they will get away with it is beyond me. Public life these days is transparent. You can't do anything without a snitch, or a leak, or a WhatsApp going astray. Is it a Labour thing? A left-wing thing? How does Starmer and Albanese explain freebies you and I would never get? How do they defend freebies from an already exulted position? Back here Luxon got a bagging for doing nothing wrong, apart from being successful enough to own a few houses. What would we have done if he had been upgrading himself, or accepting free suits and Amanda turns up in new eyewear paid for by party supporters? Public service once meant serving the public, not using your position to upgrade yourself, whether for aviation or sartorially. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

However, Qantas chief executive Vanessa Hudson is confident that the damage control is working after a turbulant time under Ms Hudson's controversial predecessor Alan Joyce. Australia correspondent Peter Ryan spoke to Anna Thomas.

Alan Joyce was once hailed as a saviour of perhaps Australia's most iconic business. The former CEO of QANTAS was championed by his board and well known in the Australian business community for his support of social justice causes throughout his 15 years in the job. So, it's been a dramatic fall from grace.  Joyce has now left his successors with a reputational mess after a series of bad decisions that left customers furious. And he's had his bonus cut by millions. Today, reporter Marc Moncrief on what Joyce did wrong and whether his punishment will do anything to rebuild Australia's trust in QANTAS.

Former Qantas boss Alan Joyce will have over $9 million shaved off his final pay-out following a scathing external review into the airline's governance. It's a damning postscript to Alan Joyce's 15-year reign at Qantas which ended last September. The report concludes that mistakes from the airline's management directly "contributed to the Group's significant reputational and customer service issues" post-COVID.

Aussie stocks saw a slight decline on Thursday, leaving the market on track for a significant weekly drop despite a calmer trading environment compared to Monday's sharp fall.
